    McConnell fell recently at D.C. airport prior to Wednesday's freeze-up

    Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze again
    Wednesday, this time during a gaggle with reporters in Covington,
    Kentucky, stopping for more than 30 seconds after he was asked if he
    would run for re-election.

    The Kentucky Republican froze in July at a news conference on Capitol
    Hill, going silent for 19 seconds before being escorted away from the
    cameras. McConnell, 81, returned shortly afterward and continued his
    news conference, telling reporters, "I'm fine."

    When it became apparent that McConnell had frozen again on Wednesday,
    an aide came up to him and asked, "Did you hear the question,
    senator?" McConnell continued to be unresponsive.

    Ha, so someone asks him a question about running for office again, and
    he responds by having a health crisis in front of the camera. Does th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-that answer your que-que-que-que-question?

    Roll him the fuck off stage and retire him.

    If Biden does it, same goes for him.
